Title: Obama Family Gets Ready to Pick First Dog
Post by: thundley4 on February 25, 2009, 04:25:20 PM
"Forget about the health and human services secretary, the Obama family is zeroing on their nominee for First Dog, according to People Magazine.
First Lady Michelle Obama told People that the pooch’s arrival is scheduled April, at the urging of 7-year-old First Daughter Sasha. “So Sasha says ‘April 1st.’ I said, ‘April.’ She says, ‘April 1st.’ It’s like, April!” she said.

The first lady favors Portuguese Water Dogs as a breed, which makes sense because they don’t shed and are considered one of the more hypo-allergenic types of dog. The elder Obama daughter, Malia, is allergic to dogs.

Obama friend and political ally, Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, is also fond of Portuguese Water Dogs—he has two and even authored a children’s book featuring his pup, Splash."Link (http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/02/25/obama-family-gets-ready-to-pick-first-dog/)

This undated photo provided by Sen. Edward Kennedy’s office shows Kennedy holding his 13-week old Portuguese water dog, Cappy. Kennedy has voiced his support for the breed to the Obama family.

Oh the bitter irony of Fat Teddy having a Portuguese water dog named Splash.

So Kennedy has 2 water dogs, huh? It was all probably a big mistake. Someone probably asked him if he wanted a dog and he thought they said drink, "Yeah. Make it a double with just a splash of water and a twist of lemon."

So barack's pledge to adopt a dog went right out into the steaming pile of his other pledges.

If there is, Obambi can put him on the cabinet. Might be one of his better picks.

Maybe he could pick a nice American breed.
